Thanks very much

I have a question, probably really stupid:

With this version will we be able to receive the OTA updates of the beta in the future?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] varxx:
I thought that you had to unlock the bootloader in order to install twrp. At least that's how I did it. But I'm happy to be wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] skoczek12:
Already installed without unlocking bootloader, everything seems to be fine, thank you <3
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yashkadam0012:
ya

i have LB and i will flash this and do a factory reset working perfect
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] raxman68:
Is xposed and gravity box working?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] fijasko:
You'll lose root and recovery after you flash this, so no xposed, no gravity box.

I know it's still early going, but does anyone have any performance/battery life comparisons to make between Beta and Concept? Other than lacking adoptable storage, some security updates, and minor changes to settings and the launcher/camera, I'm wondering if there's any advantages Beta offers over Concept atm.

Swyped from my Z3C
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Marvel1403:
For me UI seems to be laggy sometimes and overall performance is worse than concept. Didnt notice any improvements in image quality but new camera app is nice. Cant say anything about battery bcs after 1h usage beta i reverted to concept rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Spardantex:
A lot of hype and at the end the concept it's x10 times better than this beta xD Slow animations, a bit lagging and slow on open settings and app.. But impressive battery life. Thanks for make this possibile Serajr! :D For now I'm back to Slim!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allewar:
up (2)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I had been on the fence about unlocking my boot loader to try Concept -- despite being aware of the DRM restore for UB -- and had considered giving Beta a try to save myself the extra work and stay on a LB, but it seems most people have nothing but praise for Concept so I'll likely be going that route, while keeping an eye on Beta and the eventual Official release (with resulting custom roms).

Swyped from my Z3C
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Is there any way to turn off the search bar from the menu?

Also chrome beta doesnt recognise my google account
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Unirod:
But you don't need to unlock the bootloader to install the concept software.

I installed it without unlocking nor rooting.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Does anyone else think this beta is "worse" than the concept?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allewar:
Link for the tutorial?

Enviado de meu D5803 usando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
My bad, I want to have root, and it seems all the tutorials for obtaining Concept with root have unlocking the bootloader as a prerequisite. Not sure why, but I haven't looked deeper into it yet.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] filou76:
if you want root on concept you have do unlock bl, but not for installation without root.

but let's return to beta ;) there are already 3 big concept threads in this forum...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Fl0tich:
I managed to install marshmallow on my Z3c with a locked bootloader.

How to install :

-Download the .zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/successfully-rooted-lp-5-1-1-downgrade-t3328617, extract the archive and install the apps

-Launch kingroot to root, then Busy Box and wait until all is loaded.

-Launch ZXR app and install TWRP recovery

-Now all tout need to do is to follow the tutoriel of [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] written previously

You car backup your Lollipop datas and restore them on marshmallow with Sony companion

I think it is how i managed the problem because i have done a lot of manipulation.

Good luck to the newbie like me :p

MM is laggy, more than the concept...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Quite a few people have said that. Bit concerning!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tyepye:
So installed this today over 5.1.1 (D5803) locked bootloader - I'm in the UK

Rooted with latest Kingroot

Installed XZ Dual Recovery

Backed up device in TWRP & TA Partition using windows tool

Installed MM Beta

Rebooted (didn't wipe data)

So far finding it a lot quicker than 5.1.1, very snappy and quick to navigate. Only annoying thing is LTE icon instead of 4G icon but nothing major, once official release is out can just flash that.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Can you please provide links or version numbers for XZ Dual Recovery, TWRP & TA Partition?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tyepye:
Added links for XZDualRecovery (this includes TWRP) & the TA tool for backing up the TA Partition.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Remuzzz:
Got this mail today :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Spardantex:
You have not lost anything, trust me
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
Are you recommending to stay away from this beta as a daily driver and stick with concept?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Spardantex:
5.1 for now is better. It's a beta obviously
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Any idea why King Root fails for some people? Unfortunately there isn't much feedback in English. I get to about 65% and I get a picture of an Android face with a tear (doesn't look good hah) and then some numbers. I've rebooted and tried a few times with no luck.

EDIT: I tried the linked APK, the newer APK direct on their website, and the Windows application with no luck.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Oh, it seems King Root does not work on 5.1.1 unless you did it on 5.0.2 and then flashed the pre-rooted 5.1.1 ROM.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] akshay2shah:
I m on Android 5.1.1

I did root by Latest version of kingroot.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] king960:
Works on 5.1.1 for me
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
Interesting. I ended up downgrading to KK, rooting, then installing the XZ dual recovery and MM Beta from there. All good. Running now and for me it is noticeably smoother than Lollipop but mine wasn't running well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] HvdW:
Today, same mail for me too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mrrflagg:
Any reviews of MM beta or informative comparisons between it and MM concept?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tyepye:
Got very patchy bluetooth audio on the MM beta. Keeps cutting out and stuttering, bit of a deal breaker for me as I use a bluetooth headset to listen to music on the commute to work.

Will probably go back to 5.1.1 later today and wait for the official release.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] andreaboss:
It's a known issue and will be patched in the next update

Bug status:

1)Bluetooth audio->patched in next update

2)Double tap to wake->patched in next update

3)Wifi connectivity issue-> working

4)guest mode not working->working
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tyepye:
Thanks for that. Just flashed back to 5.1.1.

Will try out the next update - whether it is another beta update or official release.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] andreaboss:
Developers said they think to release a couple of updates for the beta
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
I haven't experienced issue 2 or 3. I haven't tested BT audio yet though.

I second this post. Still resisting to go back to a previous 5.1.1 backup, but it may not take to long.

Anyone having trouble with adding second accounts to Gmail? I added an Exchange account successfully but it doesn't show up in Gmail (under accounts it shows/synced). When new mail arrives it shows up as a Gmail notification but if you try to open it.. it only goes to your regular gmail invite.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] casouzaj:
Yes, there is a bug in Gmail. Third party accounts doesn't show up under Gmail' settings. And if a message comes up from one of those accounts, and you tap over it in the notifications panel, Gmail crashes. I have decided to delete 3rd party accounts from Gmail and set them up in Sony 's email client app.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] callsignapollo:
This is what I did also (for now). The bug is in Gmail itself, or Gmail on our beta ROM?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] casouzaj:
Only in this beta ROM, I think. In 5.1.1 I had all my accounts stored in Gmail app without problems.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] StaticGTF:
How would I best go about moving onto this ROM from the MM Concept Edition I am on now?

This is what I had in mind, but is there some other way?

Downgrade with Concept installer

Install 4.4 version

Root and install TWRP

Flash the MM Beta ROM

Thanx!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pepitoff:
Yep, for now this is the only way if you are on Locked Bootloader
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] serajr:
Exaclty, but once you have a working recovery, no matter if you're on KK or LP!

And now we have root on LB

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] StaticGTF:
I actually took a shortcut (not much quicker though) by using KingRoot 4.8 to root, install Busybox and TWRP. I had to run the root utility a few times before it caught on properly...

Either way, this ROM is awesome and very lean on resources!

Now off to check up on the progress of rooting Xperia 6.01 Beta....

Cheers!

Concept to Official

Hi everyone,

could someone tell me if one is using Concept Fimware will receive official MM without doing anything? I mean, will the official update come directly via OTA even though the device is running Concept?

Beforehand, I thank you all for help. Hugs!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:

Yeah, but knowing my luck, I'd accidentally knock loose the charger connection. Also, I believe the USB connection shifts in and out of charging mode during some phases of a ROM installation. If you don't have enough battery to power a reboot, you could interrupt the process, maybe with dire consequences. Anyway, why take a chance?

But thank you, I'll risk less.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] eMadman:
It's a wireless protocol used for connecting sports sensors - heart rate monitor, speed/cadence (for cycling), etc. The Z3 line of phones come with the ability to handle it. I've got a Garmin bike computer I can also use, but having access on the phone would be really useful for going on runs.

We get recovery on locked bootloader.
